News / Press Release
PDP General Council to be held tomorrow
28 Sep 2017 at 21:14hrs | Views
The country is burning; a crippling economic crisis has escalated in the past few days with a record price shock hitting the domestic market.
In this environment, the opposition becomes a very important aspect of the body politic. The importance of the opposition is that of providing thought leadership, alternative policies and more importantly maintaining hope for the people of Zimbabwe who have been exposed to unpalatable suffering for a long time.
With this in mind any individual who seeks to disturb and destroy the opposition is an enemy of the people.
It becomes worse when the disturbance is a product of an ethnic approach to politics, anyone who wants to divide the Zimbabweans on tribal grounds must be treated with the contempt they deserve.
The country is not in need of a poster boy of tribalism it is looking for leadership with the capacity to unite the people around confronting and liquidating the dictatorship which is the source of suffering among Zimbabweans.
The circus around the firing of President Tendai Biti is a disturbance in the movement of convergence which is a heeding of a call by the people of Zimbabwe who view a coalition as a platform which offers citizens a fighting chance.
We also find it ironic that the meeting and subsequent press conference was held at Dr Sipepa Nkomo's residence. Nkomo is an individual who deserted the party to join another party despite being given the task to negotiate a coalition.
Twenty people cannot gather at Nkomo's house and plot to derail progress.
For the record a PDP General Council was scheduled for tomorrow the 29th of September 2017.The General council is expected to deliberate the economic crisis, voter registration and other important issues confronting the motherland.
People's Democratic Party President Tendai Biti will hold a press briefing at the party offices to convey the key resolutions of the meeting. Zimbabweans see hope in the current wave of convergence must not be demobilised.
Together Another Zimbabwe is Possible
